Or even this afternoon. :)
I've added http://php.net/eol (coming soon to a mirror near
you; it's
not up yet): at present, it's pretty bare bones, just listing the date
of the last release on each unsupported branch, and with an optional
notes field. It's not linked from anywhere yet — I have a patch that
will add it to the sidebar on /releases, as Rasmus suggested, but
let's get the EOL page itself worked out first.
Thoughts? (Do we even want to auto-fill this from $OLDRELEASES, or
would we rather have a manual array?) Specific notes on
vulnerabilities to add to branches? Better versions of the copy in the
initial blurb?
